Liverpool FC: Mohamed Salah scores fastest Champions League hat-trick

At 7-1 in Glasgow

After Liverpool’s 7-1 win against Glasgow Rangers in the Champions League, Jürgen Klopp would have liked to praise all his players – but of course the main interest was in the record hat-trick Mohamed Salah. Three goals in six minutes and twelve seconds, that has never happened in the history of the “premier class”. “Special. Typical Mo,” said Klopp after the important victory of the Reds, who had been anything but convincing recently.

“The whole thing was very important. (…) It’s obviously an extraordinary result and we all know it and shouldn’t make more of it, but it’s the best we could have wished for and that’s why I’m very happy,” emphasized the coach. After coming on as a substitute in the 68th minute, Salah only needed nine ball contacts for the goals in the 75th, 80th and 81st minutes. Roberto Firmino (24th/55th) had already scored twice after Scott Arfield (17th) had given the Scottish record champions the lead. Darwin Núñez (66′) increased before Salah’s entrance and Harvey Elliott (87′) scored the final.

Remarkable: All three goals for Salah’s hat-trick were prepared by Diogo Jota – that hasn’t happened since Franck Ribéry gave his team-mate Mario Gómez all the goals in his hat-trick for FC Bayern against FC Basel in March 2012. In any case, the atmosphere in the Liverpool dressing room was good. “We usually drink a beer after away games, but that was so long ago that I’m probably already drunk after one,” said Klopp before the important clash with Manchester City on Sunday (5:30 p.m.). The Reds last won away from home in May on matchday 35 of the Premier League at Southampton FC.

Winning in Glasgow “changed the mood for sure and that’s good, but we all know who we’re welcoming to Anfield on Sunday and it’s going to be a different game,” he explained. While Man City is just behind Arsenal in second place going into the 10th matchday, Liverpool is only tenth. The last time things looked worse was in 2012/13, when Brendan Rodgers only managed 13th place. With the feeling from the success at the Rangers it is now “better” to go into the game against the Skyblues, said Klopp.
